I'd say this is not entirely true. With KVM you still can have vGIC = without vITS. Just don't set KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_ITS and that's it. = The only thing linked in is LPI support. With KVM you cannot have LPIs = without vITS. Neither you can directly inject LPIs. So, in-kernel ITS is also optional.
